weapons, eight 5-inch anti-aircraft
guns, and three aircraft.
It cost $5,926,000 and was al
tered at a cost of $7,000,000 to
increase its armor.
(The Cassin, Shaw and Downes
were of the Mahan destroyer
class, in the 1933 program. The
Cassin and Shaw were both
launched Oct. 28, 1935, at the
Philadelphia navy yard. They
were of 1,500 tons displacement
and cost from $3,400,000 to
$3,750,000 each. The Downes
was launched at Norfolk navy
yard April 2, 1936, and was
similar to the other two.)
No Planes In Air
Knox said no army or navy
planes were in the air when
the attack came, although planes
of the navy's customary dawn
patrol already were over the
horizon.
The navy had not been pa
trolling at night, Knox told a
questioner, considering such pa
trol would be ineffective. He
said he believed 300 patrol
planes would have had to be
operating to entirely safeguard
the islands from surprise attack.
Army losses in aircraft were
severe, Knox said, and some
hangars also were destroyed.
But he added that replacements
had already arrived or were on
their way.
The Utah, the target ship lost,
had not been used as a com
batant ship for many years. It
was subjected to a furious at
tack because, Knox said, the
Japanese thought they were
knocking out an aircraft carrier.
(The Utah was launched Dec.
23, 1909, at the New York Ship
building 'company yards, and
was a former battleship being
used as a wireless controlled
target ship. It had 19,800 tons
displacement.)
No Carrier In Port
Actually, he said, no aircraft
carrier was in Pearl Harbor at
the time. The Arizona, he said,
was destroyed by the explosion
first of its boiler and then Jts
forward magazine, as a result
of a hit by a bomb which is
believed to have literally passed
down the smoke stack.
The mine layer Oglala was
a converted merchantman, for
merly a passenger ship on the
Fall River line which was con
verted into a mine layer during
the World war. She carried one
5-Inch gun, two 3-inch anti-aircraft
guns and a complement
of 373 men.
Knox said some ships already
had been repaired and were
ready for sea. .
Others, he explained, will
take from a week to several
months to repair. The Okla
homa was placed In the cate
gory requiring several months.
Knox told a questioner that
the Japanese planes which es
caped "flew In four directions"
to baffle pursuit
Knox said he estimated that
from three to four week at
least would have been required
to make preparations for the
raid. He told an inquirer a
rumor that the navy had been
forewarned was untrue.
